Default Vararam intake vs k&n Intake

I was looking on line and seen that you can pick up 25-50 hp with a tune with a Vararam intake. I was thinking to myself theirs no way a CAI will give you 50 hp. Does anyone have one of these and can verify that they work this well, cause if they do I have a K&N CAI for sale

Only way you're getting 50hp out of an intake.... is if there is a nitrous line from a 50 shot attached!!!

I did

Cool

Vararam is a Ram Air kit and flows more than a CAI .. Both mine idled different after installing kits but ran way stronger n idled better after tuning to adjust air mixtures .. But different vehs dont run the same .. I havent dyno'd my two vehs but made a big difference on racing my friends compared to before i had them on and after install then after tuning .. Gotta get air mixtures set and drive sum to get the puter adjusted to new settings ... My vararams made difference to me but i dunno bout 50 hp alone nahhh .. Altogether with my headers and ram air and custom tuning maybe but im
Not dynoing to find out ..
